ATESL 2018: Leaders and Learners: Integration and Inclusion

Stettler Adult Learning in partnership with Rural Routes staff, has been working with a supportive living care facility in Stettler to provide professional development workshops to all employees to foster intercultural communication, a positive workplace culture, and ensuring workers have the essential skills required to engage in their job.   As well, Stettler Adult Learning, with assessment support from Rural Routes, will provide English language training to newcomer staff where needed.   This innovative collaboration will provide a model for other CALP programs seeking to work with local employers to support the integration of newcomer staff.
